Kind of torn on the episode.
It just felt very "HERE'S STUFF" and like they skipped a bunch of episodes. I get that they wrote themselves into a corner with the opening and everything, but it feels like the other three seasons have had a gradual buildup to the Big Bad and this season was like "Ten minutes in? FUCK IT. HERE'S THE BIG BAD GUY FOR THE SEASON!" and that was pretty much it. Strong closing though and the reveal of the name tying back in to the end of last season helped, but it definitely felt way rockier than the other three seasons' starts. |

There still might be a swerve and Damien Dark might not be the big bad.... who knows...
Anyways, so much for Coast City flashbacks.... I liked the Hal Jordan "cameo"..... I knew it wasn't going to happen because he wasn't cast or anything, but I was hoping that this season's flashbacks would be Ollie and Hal on a roadtrip, trying to "find themselves"..... |

dahrk definitely seems like he's in service to a higher power of some sort, esp with the entire new world o' magic at their disposal. also don't forget vandal savage is in the mix; he'll probably need some form of introduction before legends of tomorrow since it's clear both ollie and barry are aware of him by the time that show starts
good ep though, dig's helmet is much better in action |

probably captain lance tbh, amazed he's lasted as long as he has. plus ollie was prattling on about the darkness not being his fault but it is his responsibility blah blah blah, echoing lance's earlier call that the arrow wrought darkness upon starling city; my guess is lance fouls dahrk after he has a moral crisis about working with hive, and pays for it with his life. redemption and ollie are involved, tears ensue etc

Dig was causally shooting people last night. Like just walking and calmly shooting people. I think there is a heel turn coming for him.

Yeah but they have to be super long. They have to grow pretty fast over the next year and a half or so.
Was Oliver Queen mayor in the comics? |

Which was ridiculous. Him being the only guy in the city with that ridiculous 'stache/beard now a mayor and noone connected the dots. Worse than Superman and his glasses.

Yeah.... I mean, it is his "iconic look", but always found it a bit ridic that no one could put together that the dude with the blonde mustache/beard in a very distinct shape is Green Arrow....
Not that I have been reading it anyways, but that is one change in the New52 that I didn't mind.... that they got rid of the facial hair.... |

more i think about my captain lance theory the more i worry it could also be felicity. let's face it - if they're ever gonna hook ollie up with dinah, they're gonna have to off felicity. plus barry came out for the funeral, even if he technically missed it. don't know that he'd do that for lance. could be wrong though i guess
anyway not that they strictly have to put ollie and dinah together but... y'know. i'd be surprised. no way does "olicity" end without tears. not NECESSARILY death but... probably. although the team would be screwed without her. buuut if mr terrific is a tech genius also... |

I don't want Oliver and Laurel.
I'm going with Digg, and Oliver feels responsible because he let Diggle go after H.I.V.E alone. |

Tonight I have decided that I don't like the Laurel character at all. I've given up trying to like her. She's kind of dumb.
However glad Sara Lance is back. |

like i know dinah in the comics is technically a "legacy" black canary too but she's held the mantle forever so really tv dinah didn't need to be made to feel a hand-me-down imitation of the "original" not that i don't LIKE sara. i'm just saying, as far as making dinah work as the black canary and not feel kinda forced, it would have been better. |

I can see that. If I was booking this show I never would have killed Sara Lance off last year. I think she is way too strong of a presence on the show. Laurel, could never be that.

It's a cool thing they are doing. It's going to be good.
Are we going to see Oliver's pissed off look at Laurel next week? I hope so. Last edited by McLegend; 11-04-2015 at 10:02 PM. |

Yeah, good episode. I liked the musical cues to Constantine's tv show. Nice touch.
Constantine so much better as a guest character than a lead.... I think he shows up again. Also, Flashbacks are already infinitely more interesting than the Hong Kong stuff.... Curious as to Baron Reiter's true intentions..... |

I hope we see more of Constantine.
Laurel, is still terrible. I think she is going to try and put the moves on Oliver sooner rather then later. One positive thing about Laurel is that outside the Black Canary suit she has been looking good. She was kind of smokin in the hospital. |

that was magnificent
loved constantine. hope he comes back for at least one more appearance. matt ryan and the constantine crew got robbed of a decent-length run for how decent it was compared to some shows that have lasted much longer. am loving curtis/eventual mr terrific also. dude is amazing also the tease discovery of tiny ray being alive was pretty great all-round solid episode though, this season continues to be one of its strongest so far |

Why is Thea all "you can live a normal life" when she is dealing with the exact same problem and is only temporarily "calm" due to killing some ninjas.
Sara should still be "feeling the urge" to kill Thea too... getting her soul back doesn't mean that the effects of the pit go away.... |

Sara by now knows that Merlyn is the one that killed her, and therefore has forgiven Thea. |
